Chapter 1 Yuki (Normal POV)

"Ts-Tsunade-sama this is a very bad idea!"

"Oh calm down and help me with this. One day they'll thank me for this."

"Thank you for what? If anyone, especially those two, find out they will murder you!"

Tsunade ignored Shizune and kept looking through countless folders in her cabinet. The Hokage has been pretty sneaky these days with a plot that is about BEEP! Sorry guys the mischievous plan by Tsunade is censored so no one will know the plan…ever! Anyway…she finally found the folder she was looking for and slammed it on the desk.

"She's perfect; I know nothing will go wrong! And plus I got Sakura and the others to keep everything under lock and key so all will work out fine."

"Tsunade-sama do I have to remind you the last time you made a plan like this?"

"No." The woman opened the folder and looked at all the papers in front of her and read them. Let's read along! (I took reeeeeaaaaaally long to figure how to make one up. There was shortage on coffee.)

With the papers there was a headshot picture at the corner of a teen with black and cherry red streaked hair past her shoulders and the front strands pulled to the back. A black headband of Konoha is tied to her forehead with short straight bangs pulled apart and showing the leaf sign. Under her headband are a pair of bright gray eyes that are piercing, yet gentle.

"Don't worry Shizune. Nothing can go wrong. Tell Yuki she will have a meeting tomorrow with us. Our plan will go out perfectly."

'Before or after someone dies?' Shizune had a worried look on her face and the little pig in her arms shared the expression as they watched Tsunade scheme with a creepy face. If you know how she looks like when she's got a ton of cash and ready to go on a gambling spree and drinking sake at the same time, that was what she looked like.

----------------------(Next Day)---------------------------------

Yuki is at the hospital for work, as usual. But today is the day of…Tsunade's Super Secret Plan Phase 1!

"Okay his arm should be much better than it was. Just make sure ha doesn't overwork it. And you young man shouldn't be jumping off roofs for the heck of it. Okay?"

The little brunette boy furiously nodded like a bobble head and left the room with his mother. Yuki sighed and took out a chocolate candy to enjoy the sweet, and sugar highness, of the chocolate. But as soon as she popped the candy in her mouth, someone walked in unexpectedly and she almost choked on the candy.

"Don't sneak up on me like that Naruto!"

"Oh come on, don't bite my head off. Me and Sakura are going to get ramen for lunch. And since it's your break time, how about you come with us?"

"Okay. I'll be there in two shakes."

Naruto left the room and after fixing the room up for any future patients Yuki left the room and headed to her locker to change. She changed into a black tank top under a white one with the navy blue symbol of "Wolf" in kanji on the back. As for bottoms she has a red mini skirt with slits at both sides and bandages covering her legs up to above the knees. Her left arm has a fishnet band from the bottom of the elbow to the wrist while the right is from beneath the shoulder to above the elbow. On her feet are the regular shoes ninja wear, but in black.

"Wait…where is it?" Yuki, slightly panicked, clawed through her locker looking for whatever "it" is, until she overdid it and made a hole that revealed someone else's locker. "Oops…hold it, candy?" Yuki found some candy in the other locker and took a few pieces (wouldn't you? I would). Then she caught something shining in her locker and smiled in relief.

"Whew, thought I lost it." She put on a necklace of a blood red ruby the size of a nickel that is hanging by a black string (like Tsunade's necklace). There is something strange about it though: there is a small glimmer of white light that looks like mist. The reason it is there is because of something very mysterious that can't be said yet.

After fixing up the hole she made in the locker by gluing cardboard box pieces to her wall of the locker, Yuki got out the hospital and found Naruto and Sakura at the Ichiraku Bar. "Sorry I'm late guys."

"It's no problem Yuki. At least you're not as late as Kakashi-sensei would be, the idiot."

"Naruto!"

"What? It's not like he's here." Suddenly Sakura's eyes bugged out and she pointed behind Naruto, turning to see Kakashi staring at Naruto with his eye. It didn't look like an angry glare, but deep down Kakashi had full on fury fire hell bent on burning Naruto, and the blonde ninja knew.

"Hello. I thought someone was talking about me."

Naruto was shuddering in his shoes and tried his best to not look too scared, even though he already does look it. "H-h-hey Kakashi-sensei. D-do you want lunch?"

"Thank you. And I'll need a chat with you later Naruto. I want to ask you how you think of my upgraded version of A Thousand Years of Death. I can use a kunai to implement more damage now…" Everyone sweat dropped and what Kakashi said made Naruto pee his pants a bit.

Yuki ordered her ramen and waited until Teuchi served it over the counter. "Sakura what has the Hokage been up to? I could have sworn I heard an evil laugh from her office a couple of days ago."

"I don't know. She probably thought up a plan to make big money in gambling again." Sakura said, but even though she didn't want to, she had to lie to her friend so the plan won't be revealed.

The ninja ate their own food, then the phone rang and Ayame picked it up. "Yuki, Shizune-san needs to talk to you."

She got behind the counter and took the phone. "Shizune?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU HAVE THE MEETING TODAY!"

The voice was so loud everyone stopped eating to cover their ears. "I know about the meeting. It's at 2:50."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? IT'S AT 2:30 AND YOU ARE NO WHERE NEAR BY!"

Yuki looked at the clock, which resembles a ramen bowl and sees that it is two minutes until the meeting. "HOLY SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA!" Yep, she got the time wrong and heard the message wrong about the meeting. The problem is that where the ramen bar is, Tsunade's office takes minutes to get there by walking. Even by running it takes longer than two minutes. Yuki guzzled down the rest of her ramen and slammed the money on the counter. "Keep the change!"

And faster than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (it took long to spell it out) five times and jumping at the same time the girl was off into the village, dodging whatever obstacle came in her path. However, she did crash into a vegetable stand but that didn't slow her down at all.

"I'M…NOT…LATE!" Yuki crashed through the doors of the office and almost broke the doors off their hinges. Tsunade, Shizune, and Tonton had sweat drops on the back of their heads. "Am I late?"

"No, actually you are punctual…on the dot. Please take a seat."

Yuki sat down on a nearby chair and noticed someone else in the other chair. A teen male with messy red hair and icy aqua eyes lined with black and clad in red. Plus there is a huge gourd at a side of the chair and there is a red tattoo on the left side of his forehead. He was just sitting with his arms crossed and burning holes straight ahead of him with his stare.

"Yuki, this is Gaara of the Desert. He is the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure. Gaara, this is Ishii Yuki."

Gaara takes one look at Yuki then turns his head back to face the front. "Hn."

"Hello…?" The greeting came out very weak, since Yuki had a weird feeling in the pit of her gut, like getting on a very scary and wild roller coaster when someone just ate food.

"Yuki you will be leaving Konoha to Suna for a new job. Now, before you say anything, let me tell you this. You have your aunt and uncle in that village, from your mother's side. They have been looking forward to see you after so long."

Like a schoolgirl, Yuki shyly raised her hand. "A couple of questions. One, what job are you talking about and two, can I take Kuro along?"

"Kuro?" That was the first word out of Gaara's mouth this meeting.

"My…pet wolf." With that answer Gaara stayed silent and stared into space again.

"Well, as for Kuro it is up to Gaara if-"

"I don't care."

"...Okay then I guess that means you can take Kuro. As for your job, you'll still be a medical ninja at the hospital over there and have a shift that won't conflict with your new job of bodyguard and personal assistant."

Yuki looked puzzled and curious about whom it is. "And the client?"

"He's right here." Yuki looked at Gaara quickly and stared at him then looked back at Tsunade. Inside, she didn't really mind, but deeper she had that pit feeling lingering. "Gaara will be heading back to Suna later in the afternoon. You will go with him and do whatever you need to do in your line of duty. As bodyguard his safety comes first, and you must make sure of that."

"Yes ma'am."

With a good-bye and a short bow, the girl left the office and shut the door behind her. Gaara stood up and made a glare at Tsunade, who isn't phased by the eye contact. "What's the matter Gaara?"

"She seems incompetent and careless. Why exactly do I need a bodyguard?"

"Akatsuki is after you, remember? We know that you're powerful, Gaara, but there'll come a time when you are on the brink of losing a battle against a great enemy. Yuki may seem…a bit klutzy, if you will, but she's actually a very good ninja."

"And the personal assistant?"

"You need someone to help you in the office. Temari said you need one before the papers fall and suffocate you, so why not? Before I forget, I must tell you this: Don't do anything to Yuki, got it? You wouldn't want talk about you killing an innocent girl from a different village among your people. Especially your fan girls."

"Hmph." He walked out the office and as soon as the door closed, Tsunade had an evil, yet innocently mischievous grin plastered on her face.

"This is gonna be fun."

'What am I going to do now?' Yuki is outside the Hokage's home and she is sitting on a tree branch looking at the sun coming closer to setting. She heard what everyone in the office said because of something (won't reveal it now) and feels a bit hurt by what the Kazekage said. She kept on wondering what she did for him to say that and why Tsunade warned him. What did she mean by "fun"? And why is Akatsuki after him? Yuki is strong…but she knows that she can't fend off people she is trying her hardest to avoid. 'Rin can you talk to me now?'

'What's wrong?'

'Rin, did you sense anything about Gaara?'

'There is something about him. Something…bad.'

'Do you think it's a demon?'

'Not sure. But stay sharp. I don't trust him.'

She jumped off the branch, just in time to see Gaara leave the building. "Hello again, Gaara-sama." The red head turned and saw Yuki, then turned back and started to walk. 'Maybe I can get something out of him.' The girl ran up to him and slowed her pace. "So, how old are you, if I may ask?"

"…Fifteen."

"Oh, same here. You must be very strong to be a Kazekage at that age."

Then, Naruto and Sakura, sodas in hand, looked at Yuki and Gaara and spat out any soda that was in their mouths at the time. "WHAT THE HECK?"

"Hey guys."

"Gaara…what are you doing here?" Sakura asked wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Business."

The blonde kept looking at the two with those big blue eyes of his, soda still dripping from his chin. "Yuki, why are you with him?"

"…How about I explain everything at my place? You want to come, Gaara-sama?" He shrugged and nodded his head once and deep inside, his demon was chuckling at the situation the boy is in.

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Everyone is at the small apartment where Yuki and her little wolf live, or lived after she leaves. She just explained her new job and her moving to Suna. Her friends just stared at her while Gaara was sitting in the same room with closed eyes and crossed arms.

"So you're going huh?" Sakura says with a glum expression on her face. She didn't really like the fact that another friend is leaving. First Sasuke, and now Yuki.

"Yeah. But I'll try to visit you guys, and maybe you can come by."

Gaara has been listening to the conversation, but without a care. He did tell the hotel he stayed at that he's leaving today and checked out this morning, but he didn't expect to stay here for the remainder of his time here. Then, he felt something tug at his leg. He opened his eyes to see a little black and gray wolf pup with yellow eyes and its tail wagging back and forth. 'How about we take care of this mutt?' 'Not now.'

"Kuro what are you doing?" The little wolf scurried to his master and hopped on Yuki's lap. "Did he bother you? Kuro's always like this with new people. I think he likes you."

"Hn."

"Oh come on Gaara, don't be so gloomy. What do you have to be sad about?"

"My mother, my uncle, my father, the village…"

"…Never mind that. Good going Naruto."

Naruto sat back in the couch with crossed arms like a bad mannered child and Yuki stared at Gaara, wondering what he was talking about. "Were you abused as a child Gaara-sama?" The only thing she received in reply was a grin. Not a happy grin, but one with dark thoughts pooling in it. "W-what are you grinning for?"

The grin came clean off his face and Gaara stood up and headed for the door. "It's time to leave. I'll be outside."

Yuki got up quickly and rushed to her room. "Uh sorry guys I have to pack. I kind of forgot."

"It's okay. We'll be outside with Gaara, 'kay?" Naruto and Sakura walked outside and found Gaara leaning on the wall of the house with the usual crossed arms. As soon as Naruto closed the door, his face had a serious look on it. "Alright Gaara, I'm gonna tell you this once and no more than that. If you do anything to Yuki-"

"I've been told already. And also I have no reason to mean harm…yet." The door opened and Yuki had a backpack on her back, Kuro tagging along behind her, and around her waist was a black strip of leather holding a short red staff the height of a new pencil at her side.

"Sorry if I took too long. I wanted to write a message to the landlord and leave the last of the rent money. Bye guys, I'll miss you!" Everyone was in a group hug while Gaara was standing away from them to avoid the hug, feeling that was a waste of time. He was never hugged before, and right now he doesn't really want one, unless someone is willing to lose a limb or two in the process.

When the others left, Yuki and Gaara went to the gates of Konoha. As soon as the village was left behind, Yuki's uneasiness feeling in her gut came back. Even though she has Rin who will come if anything goes out of hand and she has her own skills, Yuki couldn't shake off the dark feeling about Gaara. She has heard rumors about him and Naruto talked about him before when he took the Chunin Exams a couple of years ago, and frankly she feels scared. But at the same time part of her feels ashamed of the other for being scared over what she doesn't really know, since the girl doesn't have a prejudice nature.

'You seem tense Yuki. Is this about the boy?'

'Something's up and I can't shake this feeling…'

'Don't worry. If he tries to lay a finger on you, you know you can let me take care of him. But if he is with them it will be a problem.'

And as for Gaara… 'Well? You wanted a talk.'

'There's something weird going on with the girl, Gaara. Better watch your back.'

'Hmph, now you're acting like you give a crap about me?'

'I'm serious. This chick has something in her, like that blonde kid and the fox.'

That made the sand ninja stop in his tracks. Yuki noticed that he stopped and looked behind her. "Is something wrong?"

"You're hiding something."

'Crap how did he find out already?' She bit her lip and tried to think of a solution out of this. She can lie, but she doesn't really like to deceive people. 'Don't say anything now Yuki.' But then, Yuki figured out another way to explain this, without lying or telling everything. "Yes, that's true."

"Care to say it?"

"No. I'm sorry, but not now…We have to keep moving, Gaara-sama."

Then Gaara noticed the ruby hanging from her neck with the weird light in it. 'It must be concerning that. Fine.' He walked ahead of her without looking at her and she turned to continue walking. "I'll give you time."

With that, the conversation ended. Gaara may have decided to give her time, but by that he meant very little time. He doesn't allow anyone to go challenge his questions or orders. But the way Yuki said it was nice and Gaara can let that go. But Shukaku is trying to change his mind.

'You gonna let it go like that? No torturing for the answer? You're not a softie. You're a little soft piece of sh-'

'Shut the hell up and stop talking out your ass demon.' The raccoon-whatever demon stopped what he was saying and stayed quiet, or became not annoyingly talkative like an asshole in Gaara's case.

The two ninja reached the edge where the forest finally ends and meets the desert. Gaara isn't tired at all, since he has no choice but to be awake, but he noticed that Yuki has been moving slower up to this point. Usually he won't do anything for anyone, unless when it comes to keeping the village safe, but he can make an exception, no matter how much it made him ticked off inside.

"We're stopping."

At that moment Yuki sat down on a huge boulder and let Kuro sit on her lap. "Gaara-sama, can I ask you something?"

"…I'm listening."

"What's wrong with your eyes? Is that makeup or something?"

'Oh no she didn't. Let's teach her a lesson. Come on Gaara, buddy, you know you want to.'

"Lack of sleep."

"Oh…what about that tattoo? Did your girlfriend made you get it?"

That question Yuki thought of was from the fact that Gaara's tattoo says "love", but she didn't know that something like that made the raccoon demon inside Gaara laugh as if he's at a comedy fest. 'Girlfriend! Man that's rich! The kid should be asexu-'

'Don't make me watch Crank Yankers when we get back.' That shut the demon up. Shukaku hates puppets, and that fact serves as good leverage. 'Screw you.' "No. I just love and live for myself."

'Is he asexual or something?' She decided to get rid of that inside question, since she had a very scary image of her asking that question. "Well, what about the village? Do you care about it?"

"Care about it, but not love it."

"What about your family?"

"A little more."

"Okay…Goodnight then." Yuki got off the boulder and lied down on a soft patch of grass and flowers right next to it, then fell asleep. Because of the demon Gaara can't sleep, so all he can do is stay up the entire night awake or meditating. However, now he has something else to do at this time of non-sleeping relaxation.

'Time to see what she's hiding…' Gaara got up and loomed over the sleeping girl and looked at the weird ruby on her rising and falling chest. 'What have we here Gaara? Didn't know you had a little wild thing going on.' He didn't pay any mind to him and he grabbed the ruby. But, as if she can see through her eyelids, Yuki's hand gripped Gaara in her sleep. 'Shit…' He tried to wring the hand off of him, but the grip only got stronger.

'Man I wish I had a camera…'

He ignored the demon's words and used his other hand to pry the fingers to free his hand. But then there was a snap, crackle, and pop (like the cereal!) and short red sparks snaked up the captured arm and shocked him. Yuki's hand let go and Gaara's arm jumped to his side from the little red sparks. There is still a tingling sensation from the ruby as if he has been bitten by fire ants. 'Try again.'

'It won't work idiot. You saw what happened.'

'No I mean try a little under that thing, you know what I'm talking about. You know you want to…'

When Gaara understood, he wished his perverted demon was out here so he can kill him for what he said.

Morning breaks through the leaves and the sunlight wakes up Yuki from her sleep. 'Jeez, that was a weird dream.' Apparently her dream included what was going on outside last night while she was asleep. "Man, I'm still tired…Gaara-sama?" She looked left, right, behind her, and even up, but he was no where to be found. 'Oh no don't tell me something happened to him?' "Gaara-sama!"

Right on cue the redhead jumped down from a tree and it surprised the girl so much she fell back on her rear. "What?"

"I was just looking for you. We…have to go now. Did anything happen last night?"

Being the calm dude he is, Gaara lies without giving him away. "Nothing."

'Is it true Rin?'

'He tried taking the ruby. Lucky for you I made sure he didn't succeed. Keep your eye on him. By the way, don't smile too hard or you'll definitely give us away.'

Yuki is shocked to find that Gaara got so suspicious as to search and dig up anything he could find in her sleep. She is also surprised at the fact that he stayed up for that and has regular energy today. No one has ever been that determined to find out about Rin except for one person… But anyway, she walked along and acted as if she didn't have the discussion with Rin.

The desert is brutal that day. The sun's rays beat down on the sand and those walking on it. Gaara is just fine since he's used to the desert, but Yuki looks like she'll faint any minute and is also keeping Kuro, tired out and hot, on her shoulder. She took a water bottle out of the bag and gave some water to her pet. 'Jeez this is unbearable…'

"You need water."

Yuki looked from the canine to Gaara who was holding a water bottle in his outstretched hand. "Oh no thank you I feel fine."

"Your loss." Gaara took the bottle back and took a quick sip. That made Yuki even hotter and more dehydrated when she watched him drink. Then out of no where a kunai flew threw and landed right in front of her feet. She spun around and saw ten cloaked figures slowly rising from the ground. "Big mistake."

But before Gaara could do anything, Yuki stretched her arm out in front of him to stop him. "Leave this to me." Kuro jumped off her shoulder and stood by her ankles, growling at the other ninja.

"Remember men; bring them alive for the bounty." At that command four ninja charged, but after only a few steps they fell on the ground. "The hell?" The head honcho of the group took a look at one of the fallen ninja and found a needle sticking out on the chest where the heart is. There was less than half of the needle exposed, and it was made of hard solid ice. The leader looked up and saw Yuki's hand outstretched and the other at her side with more of those ice needles between her fingers. "Hyoton…"

"If you want to live run."

The leader seemed anger at that comment. "Who says we'll die, lady? Get them!" This time the other ninja were more careful. Yuki kept throwing her ice needles but missed them and one got too close and had a kunai tipped with some liquid in hand. The strike could have been critical, but the kunai was blocked by a red staff taller than Yuki. Parts of the staff separated, revealing an ice chain keeping the pieces together and the ice separated and attacked the other ninja as sharp swarms of ice needles. They all fell and only three, including the leader, are left.

"You can leave now you know…"

"RIP HER TO SHREADS IDIOTS!" The two subordinates attacked swiftly and with Gaara just standing looking at the spectacle Yuki knocked them all out with her staff and when one, that was a few feet away from her, tried to get up, the staff extended and she whacked the ninja on the back of the neck. "Imbeciles, whatever it is more money for me." Suddenly a huge gust of wind blew tons of sand all around blinding everyone. Then when Yuki uncovered her eyes and Gaara and Kuro weren't around. It's just her and the leader.

"Where are they?"

"I won't risk having the Kazekage kill me before I get my cash. And you can't beat me. You're out of water to use Hyoton, Ishii." The man threw a flurry of shuriken and was easily dodged, but they started coming back. She kept running and dodging but they still chased her. "These babies can chase you for days, little girl. You have no chance."

Then Yuki stood still, doing absolutely nothing and the shuriken hit her. But right on contact her body became water and the shuriken just hit the sand. The man was dumbfounded and started to sweat bullets when mirrors made of very hard ice appeared around him and above. As for Yuki, she was on the other side of the mirrors with a stream of water circulating around her torso. "There was an oasis less than a mile away. Thanks for the shuriken chase or I wouldn't have seen it." The stream of water separated and dozens of ice needles were in midair at her side. 'Crystal Ice Mirrors Blizzard.' The needles sped to different mirrors and passed through and multiplied, flying around the dome of mirrors.

Yuki made the mirrors melt, revealing the leader exposed on the ground with some ice needles sticking out of his limbs. 'Jeez that took too much work. I hope I can reach them before heatstroke…' Then she saw the man twitch, so she walked over and grabbed him by his collar. "Who are you working for?"

"Kiss my ass bitch."

"You're this close to getting me angry. Now, for the last time, who are you working for?"

"…See ya in hell, five-tails." The man grabbed her wrists and Yuki couldn't get free. Then she noticed a little red tag with a flame on it and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get free of the grasp before the tag caused a major explosion.

Yuki: Did you just kill me already?

Gaara: Yes she did.
